Exactly. You obviously have an intuitive understanding of Critical Theory:
Quote:THROUGH A CULTURAL LENS
Reflections on Validity and Theory in Evaluation
Karen E. Kirkhart
Syracuse University

Culture impacts all aspects of evaluation—from the formation of evaluation questions to the selection of data sources; from data gathering methods and data analysis techniques to strategies for communicating findings. As with all knowledge, evaluative understandings and judgments are culturally contextualized. To establish the validity of such understandings and judgments, cultural diversity must be explicitly addressed. Appreciations of diverse cultural perspectives strengthen validity; they must be expanded and deepened. Biases embedded in cultural diversity threaten validity; they must be exposed and interrupted (Fine & Powell, 1997).

In evaluation as in measurement, validity is the most important construct (Linn, 1997). It references the accuracy and limits of understandings; it guides what can and cannot appropriately be concluded from evaluative inquiry. Validity addresses the fundamental correctness of evaluation. A key dimension of validity involves appreciating the culturally bound nature of understandings and judgments. Valid evaluation presumes an understanding of culture and culturally based discrimination as well as the ability to identify appropriate and inappropriate considerations of cultural context in evaluation’s epistemological, methodological, and theoretical foundations, professional practices, and standards and guiding principles.

Except as regards criticism of anything the left doesn't like. Then, people's lived and immediate cultural experience don't matter, it's a matter of objective truth, and everyone's criticism and opinion is equally valid.

Yes, I wrote that.


You authored that sentence. I didn't.


So you are saying that it is valid to chop up a sentence, omit bits, and propose alternate dictionary word meanings to the ones obviously intended?

And you tell people what they said, as if you know their motivations better than they do. And you misquote them and ignore context, too.

LOL.

Keep doubling down on delusion. It suits you.

Tongue


This is the most entertaining conversation I've had in a very long time. 
What was omitted?
What relevant information in your statement was ignored?
What context was ignored?
"Alternate dictionary word meanings". What other possible meaning could you have intended? This should be good.

You never asked for her understanding of use of force you asked her how much training she had after she stated how she saw it. The conversation is over. I think you should reflect on it. I will not be replying.

Ah, yes, I'm being irrational.
You're very invested in a comment that I made to someone else that you openly agree with me on. It's very odd.
